💨 Abstract

In Tamil Nadu during the 1960s, a Syrian Christian collector named Antony was known for his efforts in modernizing paddy cultivation and promoting family planning. Despite facing friendly jibes, he remained dedicated to his work. Antony, who was passionate about family planning, made it a state priority at the district level, contributing to the stabilization of India's birth rate.
